...is only for the super-competitive players, really. Me, I like to work on Pokédex completion. :)
As for grinding, if you find it boring, try putting on music you can listen to while you grind. It makes the whole thing a lot less tedious. (I like Metallica, personally. ^_~)
What's your team like so far? Because nobody puts out a Charmeleon before a Water type unless they're doing a monorun.
Take my money! Please?
Of all the things I dreamed of when I was 10, "Pokémon battles in the school playground" was pretty much the one I never expected to really come true. Oh well, it's not like I'm complaining.
(This is almost better than a Pokémon MMORPG. :P)
...but a quick look at Niantic's pedigree reveals the ARG Ingress, which featured a program that turned your phone not into a window into another world, but a device that allowed you to interact with invisible energy fields and use them to capture, protect, and interact with points of interest.
That being said, having your phone turn into a Devon or Silph Scope would be a pretty handy in-canon explanation.
Haven't played any Pokémon for years, but this sounds like a very neat twist.

It's like that one April Fools' joke that Google Maps did, but as a game! This is gonna be great! :D
That... admittedly got me very, very excited.
This is the sort of thing Pokemon fans have been waiting for years.
Now if only our Virtual Reality games would get on the level of Sword Art Online so that we could have something like the game in this goodfic(without the being unable to log out and being stuck in a Death Game part of course)
Ingress were pretty much experts on ARG, I expect this to be extremely good.
Also, I fully expect the Pokemon you get to be dependent on location. For instance, you'd need to be on a mountain to catch 'mon like the Charmander line or Skarmory, and you'd need to be in a city to catch 'mon like Meowth.
On the downside, that means all of my favorite Pokemon would have to be traded in, because Ohio isn't really notable in terms of significant terrain features like mountains and such (though it does have rivers and lots of tall grass for fishing and level grinding, respectively). It would be fun to have fossil Pokemon spawn in museums or even dig sites, though!
I'm currently Level 6 in Ingress, Resistance faction; the main reason why I'm not really progressing as fast as I want to is because I'm busy with Real Life and such. But Ingress had me hooked (and still does to some extent), so I can't wait to see what Pokemon Go will do!
Decided to play Resistance because Eldritch Abominations, duh, and then quickly found out that in this area, we're outnumbered by the Enlightened 3-1. Leveling has been coming fairly quickly, at least; I pass about seven portals just walking to a single class, so I'm not short on things to hack. :D
Mostly because I don't really like the story that much, and it kinda got boring after a while.
But with Pokémon? I think I'll be playing this game forever.
Average person doesn't have that much ability to travel that far away without it being a vacation or something, usually.
Volcanoes to the south, mountains to the north, forests all around, I live in a coastal city, and I'm in the far north. So, I should be eligible for just about every single Pokemon, right? That is, assuming they support Alaska. The only one I can think of that might not be around would be Electric type. Then again, they may like oil...
Semi-related side note, I have started to play Firered, just to get a feel for Pokemon. I am having far more fun then I expected. I'm not likely to become a fanatic, or care about max stats or anything, but it has been fun so far. Misty is kicking me left and right, though. Teaches me to pick Charmander...
You should have your 'mons at least three levels better than hers (I think her underleveled — since Staryu can't evolve that early — Starmie is level... 22?); I had no problems with her with level 25 'mons. Charmander as a starter, no grass-types. Having a Gyarados with Bite helped, since Starmie is part-Psychic and therefore weak to Dark-type attacks.

Since it evolves via Water Stone.
I would totally be known as that weird person who goes running around campus like a nutjob, screaming "GET BACK HERE, ZIGZAGOON!" ^^;
Cool trailer, here's to hoping the gameplay gets a little better by the time it's released.
